Jump to Postcustomer_id and account_number seem a little redundant to me.
SELECT sum(amount)

I think you might need a GROUP BY clause in there as well. Though that won't give you the answer you need, maybe it'll help. I only basic SQL myself. I haven't quite learned PL/SQL yet, which is what I would use to use an IF statement to see whether to add or subtract the amount.
On second thought, I think you can do this with a nested query.
Hi
Thanks for ur help. But ur query wont work as the amount entered in the transaction table will be positive only. So we have to differentiate between the amt credited and debited.
The query u gave will just give me the sum even if the amt is debited
I have got the answer for that
select cus_id, acc_id, sum(decode(acc_type,\'dr\',balance*-1,balance)) from
test_acc
this will put a - sign wherever the type is debit temporarily. It doesnt effect ur original table
As u are a learner,this query will help you in future
